UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Herefordshire Council procured emergency tree-felling services in Herefordshire. The work was classified as tree-clearing services (CPV 77211300) and concerned a single lot. The published description identifies the requirement as emergency tree felling; it does not set out specific sites, tree numbers or detailed work tasks. The council is the buyer, and the successful supplier is a specialist tree surgery partnership. The procurement was made under an existing framework, so this requirement was a call-off rather than a standalone competition. The service was delivered in Herefordshire, within the county’s area. This is a practical service requirement for firms able to carry out urgent tree-felling and associated clearance work for a local authority.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Herefordshire Council awarded the single-lot contract to Chris Arnold Tree Surgery Partners LLP. The contract value is £30,000 excluding VAT (£36,000 including VAT). Services began on 28 September 2026, and the contract was signed on 28 September 2026; its stated end date is 20 November 2026. The award was made below the public procurement threshold through a selective route under an existing framework, without a competitive call-off. The procurement is identified as emergency tree felling. No scoring or award criteria are stated in the process details. The stated service commencement date and contract period are taken from the published contract information.

For a supplier preparing for a comparable requirement from Herefordshire Council, the award indicates demand for rapid-response tree-felling and tree-clearing services rather than routine general grounds maintenance. A credible competitor would need the operational ability to mobilise quickly, assess and fell trees safely in an emergency, and clear the resulting material. The contract was awarded to a specialist tree surgery partnership, showing that relevant practical tree-surgery capability is central to this work. The buyer used an existing framework and made a non-competitive call-off, so suppliers seeking to compete for similar council work would need to understand the applicable framework route and be positioned to provide the required specialist service through it. The requirement was a single-lot service in Herefordshire, suited to providers with capacity to respond within the council’s area.
